session = gdl.GRANTA_MISession('http://localhost/mi_servicelayer', autoLogon=True)

Select a database¶

View the databases available on your Granta MI server.

[2]:

databases = session.browseService.GetDatabases().databases

print("Found {0} databases on the Granta MI Server".format(len(databases)))
for d in databases:
    print("Database key: {0.DBKey}, Database name: {0.name}".format(d))

Found 2 databases on the Granta MI Server
Database key: MI_Pro, Database name: MI Pro
Database key: MI_Training, Database name: MI Training

Search a database¶

Search in the MI Training database for records containing the text Leather.

[3]:

dbKey = 'MI_Training'
searchText = 'leather'

simpleTextSearch = gdl.SimpleTextSearch(searchValue=searchText, DBKey=dbKey)
simpleTextSearchResponse = session.searchService.SimpleTextSearch(simpleTextSearch)

Print the results returned by the search.

[4]:

for result in simpleTextSearchResponse.searchResults:
    print('{0}'.format(result.shortName))
